And - trying to defund trusted health care providers like Planned Parenthood through harmful “gag rules” - jamming through far-right ideological judges to chip away at Roe v. Wade Democrats are NOT going to stop fighting back for women, men, and families across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But as long as Republicans are - holding partisan hearings to spread misinformation and lies - pushing anti-doctor, anti-woman, and anti-family legislation - putting up new barriers to make it harder for women to access reproductive health care — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats know that - women need to be able to make the health care choices that are right for them and their families - health care providers need to be able to let medical standards, not politics, drive patients’ care None of this should be controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With so much else going on, why are Republicans spending time doubling down on harmful lies about women’s reproductive health? Because they're doing whatever they think will help them take away access to safe abortion in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Heading to the Senate floor to once again address another attempt by Senate Republicans to spread lies and misinformation about why some women in our country decide to have abortions later in pregnancy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today, I'm excited to join my House colleagues @RepKClark and @RepPressley, and incredible leaders and advocates as we introduce the #BeHEARD Act and take strong steps to finally put an end to harassment in the workplace. WATCH LIVE HERE at 11:15am EST / 2:15pm PST. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The House passed a renewal of the Violence Against Women's Act with important protections that I hope we have the opportunity to vote for in the Senate. This bill has helped women escape violence & abuse & hold perpetrators accountable. It must continue. https://t.co/dPoHGOiEAd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Violence Against Women Act offers protections to those who were previously told they weren’t worthy—& I'm glad this bill was renewed in the House last week. I hope we do the same in the Senate & ensure that ALL women are protected from violence. #VAWA https://t.co/p6KwO0AUeq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #PaycheckFairness Act would: ✔️ close the loopholes of the #EqualPay Act ✔️ give ALL women, including women of color and mothers, the tools they need to ensure they’re being paid fairly ✔️protect women from retaliation for discussing salary information with co-workers — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our economy can only succeed if women can succeed, but that can't become a reality if women, on average, earn about 82 cents for every dollar a man makes in the same job. This is why we need to pass the #PaycheckFairness Act in the Senate now. https://t.co/83BSFZx07t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin's gag rule will - push Planned Parenthood out of the #TitleX family planning program - interfere with patients’ ability to learn about their full range of repro care options - prevent people from getting care they need from providers they trust We must #ProtectX. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Violence Against Women Act has been a critical element in our work to protect all women and hold abusers accountable in our country. I commend the House for voting to pass important updates to this bill and I hope we follow suit in the Senate. #VAWA https://t.co/geiNS4JhLX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm glad to see that the House voted to renew #VAWA this week. I urge @senatemajldr to allow us to vote for updates to this important bill in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last November, families across the nation sent a message that they want to make sure everyone can get quality, affordable health care. Instead of listening to that message, President Trump is fighting to strike down health care for tens of millions of people. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If President Trump has his way: - people w/ pre-existing conditions will lose protections - people covered through Medicaid expansion will lose their health care You can't be the "party of health care" when you're trying to take it away from millions of people. #ProtectOurCare — PolitiTweet.org

We must address bullying, hazing, and harassment on our campuses. We owe it to students like Tyler Clementi, who tragically took his own life after he was bullied, and to the students who've died at colleges around the country as a result of dangerous hazing practices. #HigherEd — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: President Trump recently said that “the Republican party will soon be known as the party of health care."
